I've designed with FETs since I was a kid. Several jobs ago, I used lots of depletion mode N-channel JFETs as the heart of a flame detector in some gas ignition and control devices we manufactured.

The quest to achieve ever-lower operating voltage and lower power consumption levels in circuit design is a trend that has placed difficult challenges on electrical engineers as they run up against ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. In some situations, it becomes necessary to drive a MOSFET (or IGBT) with a voltage that’s lower than its ...

Complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technology has dominated the solid-state electronics industry for nearly half a century. Engineers in this field are used to dealing with skepticism over ...

The power semiconductor evolution started with germanium and selenium devices that succumbed to silicon types around the 1950s. Broader silicon usage stemmed from its improved physical properties ...

SiC (silicon carbide) has established itself as an important material in the semiconductor market because it has many outstanding properties. In comparison with silicon, SiC offers a higher electrical ...

Biochemical circuits made of rationally designed DNA molecules are proofs of concept for embedding control within complex molecular environments. They hold promise for transforming the current ...
